Southern Living’s ‘Grumpy Gardener’ Noticed This Orchid Arrangement

We try to have as many orchids and other plants as possible to fill customer’s containers for parties and special events. The amount of design work we do is certainly a far cry from our start 25 years ago when we didn’t even offer orchids for sale!

This orchid arrangement, in a customer’s beautiful footed container, was spotted by Steve Bender, Southern Living’s ‘Grumpy Gardener’. He then “stole” it and featured it on his blog with our permission ( here’s his post ). But happily, it’s here too!

For anyone who may not know, we create arrangements like this on a daily basis for folks bringing in their containers or using ours.

If you have something at home you’d like filled with living plants, (It doesn’t have to be orchids, it could be other foliage and flowers.) simply bring your container in, or choose one of ours. Give us some idea of where it will be placed, and if you’ll be using it for a party or need something long lasting.

Finally, give us some guidelines on color preferences if you have any, and then simply leave it for us to create something beautiful for you.

The orchid arrangement he featured had some beautiful, large air plants in it. For more information on air plants, look HERE.

During the holiday season and spring we ask at least a week’s notice (or more) so we can do the best job possible – this also allows us time to gather the plants needed for your arrangement.
